Harvard's Collier Winters, Collin Zych Named Preseason Players of the Year by TSN

Aug 30, 2010

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Harvard’s
Collier Winters and Collin Zych have been named as the preseason
Ivy League Players of the Year by The Sports Network.

Announced at the league’s annual media day, Harvard was
picked by the national media to win the Ivy League championship
this fall. TSN picked the Crimson to finish second but selected
Winters as the league’s top offensive threat and Zych as its
top defender.

Winters, an all-league selection last year as a first-year
starter, completed 57 percent of his passes and accumulated over
2,000 yards of offense through the air and on the ground. He threw
15 touchdown passes and ran for three more while throwing just
seven interceptions – the best mark among the Ancient Eight
for regular QBs.

Zych, meanwhile, has been a known commodity for some time. This
year he has been named a preseason All-American by every major news
outlet. Renowned for his open field tackling ability, Zych had 73
total tackles a year ago (53 solo) with 14 passes defended and two
forced fumbles.

Harvard kicks-off the 2010 season at home against defending
Patriot League champion Holy Cross in a 7 p.m. game at Harvard
Stadium on Saturday, September 18.

The Crimson begins its Ivy League schedule at Brown on Saturday,
September 25, in the first night game played at Brown Stadium, with
kick-off scheduled for 6:00 p.m. under a temporary lighting
system.

Harvard will have all five of its home games streamed on
GoCrimson.com with play-by-play commentary from Bernie Corbett. In
a new offering this season, member fans will be able to watch the
complete games as archived events, starting a few hours following
each contest.
